Place in my heart

My Photo scholarship 2010 entry

The world of photography, the art of capturing the moment in a way that catches one's eye and heart has been luring me for a majority of my life. I love seeing things from different perspective and angles, the challenge of delivering pieces of our world to the rest of the people. The power I have in my hands is to point out and share a moment, a colour or an surprising part of a very familiar object with my friends. Our world consists of details and in the most cases we don't bother to see them particularly, we tend to see the whole picture. It's a challenge to grab someone's attention and to show him which way he should look to see the hidden beauty within our big 'picture'.
I had a chance to spend few marvelous weeks among buddhist monks in northern India. As I obviously didn't belong to the monasteries they let me in, shared the place and food with me while allowing me to look inside their world without any objection or frown faces.
I love exploring new places, cultures or habits. It makes me a better person, it teaches me to be humble, open-minded, tolerant and it gives me an opportunity to deliver this to the people who are not that fortunate to travel.
